Ezekiel 25

Ezekiel 25

1The LORD ’s word came to me , saying ,

2“Son of man , set your face towards the children of Ammon , and prophesy against them .

3Tell the children of Ammon , ‘Hear the word of the Lord GOD ! The Lord GOD says , “Because you said , ‘Aha !’ against my sanctuary when it was profaned , and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate , and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity ,

4therefore , behold , I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession . They will set their encampments in you and make their dwellings in you . They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk .

5I will make Rabbah a stable for camels and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks . Then you will know that I am the LORD .”

6For the Lord GOD says : “Because you have clapped your hands , stamped with the feet , and rejoiced with all the contempt of your soul against the land of Israel ,

7therefore , behold , I have stretched out my hand on you , and will deliver you for a plunder to the nations . I will cut you off from the peoples , and I will cause you to perish out of the countries. I will destroy you . Then you will know that I am the LORD .”

8“‘The Lord GOD says : “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold , the house of Judah is like all the nations ,’

9therefore , behold , I will open the side of Moab from the cities , from his cities which are on its frontiers , the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim ,

10to the children of the east , to go against the children of Ammon ; and I will give them for a possession , that the children of Ammon may not be remembered amongst the nations .

11I will execute judgements on Moab . Then they will know that I am the LORD .”

12“‘The Lord GOD says : “Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance , and has greatly offended, and taken revenge on them ,”

13therefore the Lord GOD says , “I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it ; and I will make it desolate from Teman . They will fall by the sword even to Dedan .

14I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel . They will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath . Then they will know my vengeance ,” says the Lord GOD .

15“‘The Lord GOD says : “Because the Philistines have taken revenge , and have taken vengeance with contempt of soul to destroy with perpetual hostility,”

16therefore the Lord GOD says , “Behold , I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines , and I will cut off the Cherethites , and destroy the remnant of the sea coast .

17I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes . Then they will know that I am the LORD , when I lay my vengeance on them .”’”
